I'm keeping a list of annoying cliche's. If you've noticed any new ones, please mention them.


0: In any numeric ranking, there will be a Zero, revealed later, which is invariably the most powerful, and secret.
1: A Villain cannot die until they have gone all out. A Hero can get their ass kicked at 10% power, no problem.
2: A Villain can do anything offscreen until they explain their powers.
3: Once a Villain's weakness has been demonstrated, countering their power becomes easy, even if it logically shouldn't be.
4: All old men are Invincible until their first serious fight. Then they die.
5: Any returning villain is a good guy until proven otherwise.
6: Any returning character with a change of outfit has one free easy victory.
7: If a character looses an arm, this will in no way affect their combat prowess, even when it really should.
8: The more powerful a villain becomes, the easier they are defeated in the end.
9: If a character's clothing is damaged, their power increases relative to the amount of damage.
10: The Main Character can use ultimate techniques that would normally be extremely dangerous to the user repeatedly, because Protagonist.
11: If there is a character with an absurdly powerful technique who isn't a main character, their powers will be underplayed and ignored.
12: The character who claims to be the strongest in his organisation will always be one of the weakest.
13: The longer and louder you shout an attack's name, the more powerful it becomes.
14: The Main character's brother or father will always be extremely powerful.
15: The Main character is obsessed with food. (Credit to Illuminater)
16: Nothing can defeat the power of Nakama!
17: The lazy guy in an evil organisation is invariably the strongest.
18: The pretty villain is always stronger than the ugly villain.
19: If a character with a mask's identity is revealed prior to their unmasking, then they always someone else.

Did mangakas take these elements from DBZ or have they been around before Akira ?

Plenty of these don't even show up in Dragonball. 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 11, and 12 aren't there. Also 0, but that's a secret.

The villain with a very dangerous and infamous backstory, with both facts and rumors of how they are extremely dangerous and deadly offscreen, can never actually kill anyone. Just injure them to the point where they should be dead.

Same hyped up Extremely dangerous and DEADLY villain is defeated by very young, child like rookie protagonist that no one's even heard of

The vilain is required to stand there and yell "IT CANNOT BE" upon defeat, instead of trying to dodge or block.

A pretty vilain is much stronger than an uglier vilain, who will be dumb too.

Nothing can stop the MC when they get enraged and taps into their true power.

The hero is often dumb, brash and hot-headed to the point of stupidity, but always got a gigantic untapped potential that far eclipse older, more skilled people.

If there's a dude with white hair, he's a filthy ****ing traitor.

-whenever the protagonists power up the villains will sit quietly and not interfere (intentionally or not)
-The masked guy usually ends up being on the good side

Characters that grin most of the time are powerful.

The villain will have a past of why he or she is so evil.

The villain suddenly overwhelms the hero in the middle saying "Now I've become stronger ten-fold!"
